Dungeon Master Makeup Money (formerly known as Dungeon Master Funding)

Mr. Gaelio's shop deals with alcohol and seasonings.

However, the liquor placed in the store is not cheap. There are a number of breweries and distributors in Alistair that have been around for a long time. The liquor produced in Alistair is preferentially wholesaled to an old familiar store. It is therefore difficult to enter new.

Therefore, Mr. Gaelio made the store distinctive by picking up special liquor from afar to the border.

The results are good.

Store sales grew and there was just enough room to call Melissa.

Such means could also be taken because there were aristocratic handouts. Don't pinch vendors in between, go and negotiate from yourself. I was keeping costs down with my own actions.

For this reason, it is necessary to have the goods transported over long distances.

I was not worried that the supplier carrying the goods would be carried away because I was asking someone I could trust.

"I should have worn an escort."

I was also asking the C-rank Adventurer Party to escort me this time.

"Yeah, he's a trustworthy person. But it was disastrous that there were only three of us at a minority elite party. They say the enemy is nearly a hundred bandits."

"Become..."

The adventurer who was asked to escort the merchandise was passive to a large number of people who fought desperately. Besides, I was so used to fighting that I didn't think of myself as a bandit that I relied on numbers to wait for the adventurer to drain.

The adventurer, aware of his disadvantage, decided to abandon the carriage carriage carriage and put his horse on the horse with his merchant to flee.

No one thought to be a bandit or came after me in vain to see if I'd lost interest if I got the product.

"It was this morning that I fled to Alistair to report."

Upon hearing the report, Melissa signed the request.

"Exactly, you can't tell them to defend their carriage against such enemies. He was wounded, so I colored him a little bit and handed him the reward."

"No, I don't mind that"

If you forget to follow up on that, you will lose credibility.

Mr. Gaelio's business puts credit first. There's no way to frustrate me now.

"Then I decided to deal with it on my side"

A bandit attacked me. Ask for details and move.

Melissa has [spatial magic], so she can travel in an instant if she is alone, even if it was near a sealing ring that needs to be moved by carriage for about a day from where she was attacked.

"After a little intimidation, we also got testimony from the bandits."

"What have you done..."

Melissa's threat becomes mental interference using [dark attribute magic]. You shouldn't ask for details.

What matters is the fact that we got testimony from the bandits.

"You weren't a bandit?

Dozens of bandits.

There are a lot of people for bandits. It reminds me of the foolishness that the previous third prince had done.

"It's not like a soldier was dressed as a bandit. They're decent bandits."

"That's a lot of people."

"Apparently, there's a fool who hired a bandit."

Pay the bandits and circulate valuable information on those who use the streets.

Hired bandits could be rewarded for assaulting a designated opponent, plus were allowed to take the opponent's luggage in the same way as usual.

Unlike normal attacks, the target is designated.

"Quite a few, too, they say, because multiple bandits are hired, so the overall number goes to hundreds."

"Who's doing that?

Count Alistair rides himself out and asks.

Bandit commotion must be handled by the lord who rules its territory. Any problems that arise near the sealing territory must be dealt with by the sealing family.

But the bandit commotion in the Arkanum region is also the responsibility of the ruling Earl of Alistair. I can't help but wonder.

"Apparently what I captured was the lower end of a bunch of bandits, who didn't have much information,"

"Right."

Unfortunately, I didn't even know who the mastermind was.

Well, it wasn't half a day after I found out about the case that I got some information because it was Melissa.

"I just got to know my collaborators,"

What Melissa said and did earlier.

Collaborators are squeezed out for saying they will attend the meeting.

"Is that Baron Sealing?

"Correct."

The Sealing Territory flourishes as a lodging town. There are many lodgings, and most people who come and go with the Wang Capital use sealing before leaving for their destination.

At the entrance to the town, there is an examination, so it is easy to see who entered the town by looking at the records, and the lord has the authority to look at the records.

"I mean, you're telling me Baron Sealing was running information sideways?

"That's right. If the intended person has entered town, he will leave the next day. In the meantime, Baron Sealing's men are rushing to the Bandits' Asia."

The bandits Melissa crusaded became part of the bandit group this spring.

But the bandit group has been working for a long time, and Baron Sealing seems to have been working as a collaborator for quite some time.

"The bandits decided it was dangerous to take the Sealing family to another town, even if it was the closest town they could hear about their involvement."

"That would be nice."

On the day he protrudes with a sealing ring, it is visible that he will be released immediately.

The town that took him is also likely to be Guru, but at least many times better than bringing him to Sealing.

"What about that ring?

"Never divulge your involvement with bandits"

Conspiracy with bandits is only a felony.

The confiscation of the title will undoubtedly take place only if things are revealed.

"So it's like he took only one trusted subordinate into a cave that the bandits had made aside, and that's where he was attacked"

A lot of rewards.

Information on efficient raiders.

The bandits were not satisfied while they were getting all that stuff.

"Looks like they took what they had in their possession to strip off their clothes."

They took away the ring of memories they wore even then. Being part of a bunch of bandits kept the bandits on track, and they were seen as being understated while I gave them information over and over and 'they were attacking me'.

I can't make things public because I'm already in a cooperative relationship with a bunch of bandits.

I guess that's why you were going to give up the crying ring, get your own strength, and then crusade the bandits. We need to increase the number of people if we are to carry things safely.

But before that, I was exposed because Melissa had taken action.

"What happens now?

There are three possibilities.

Betray the mastermind and turn yourself in. The present Lord, who was aggressively giving information, won't be able to escape sin, but it shouldn't mean the disconnection of the Sealing family.

The second does nothing. Through the unknown, I also drop about the ring and decide that what I lost is in the hands of the bandit. It's not unlikely because we don't know how far Melissa has information.

And the third...

"It's our elimination of knowing the circumstances."

The Earl of Alistair also heard about the ring, though slightly.

Count Alistair also needs to be disposed of if he intends to eliminate the threat altogether.

"It's good to know the circumstances beforehand. But what have you done..."

"It was possible that one adventurer over there wouldn't be serious enough to know some circumstances. But there is no doubt that if the Count were to be involved, he would feel a sense of crisis."

In essence, he's in a position to head the Sealing family.

By now, I've been trying to do something about it since I got back to my room.

"I'm not worried. Only the last way is absolutely impossible."
